  It is working fine for me with rails edge. Can you try again with rails edge?

  Time::DATE_FORMATS[:dashy_format]                   = '%Y-%m-%d-%H-%m-%S'  # => 2007-10-23-17-23-23
  
  ruby-1.8.7-p249 > User.first.created_at.to_s(:dashy_format)
    User Load (0.3ms)  SELECT "users".* FROM "users" LIMIT 1
   => "2010-06-25-20-06-41"

  Tested against edge rails and can confirm Time::DATE_FORMATS works correctly as described above.

  However, when using Date::DATE_FORMATS it fails which suggests that the comments in the code linked above are either incorrect, or the code isn't working (or I'm doing something wrong, which indicates bad docs).

  Date::DATE_FORMATS is working for me.

  ActiveRecord::Schema.define(:version => 20100627025642) do
  
    create_table "users", :force => true do |t|
      t.string   "name"
      t.date     "dob"
      t.datetime "created_at"
      t.datetime "updated_at"
    end
  
  end
  class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  end
  
  User.create(:dob => Date.today)
  ruby-1.8.7-p249 > User.first.dob.to_s(:dashy)
    User Load (0.3ms)  SELECT "users".* FROM "users" LIMIT 1
   => "2010-06-26"

  So is it simply that DateTime columns don't use Date::DATE_FORMATS without a conversion first? This needs to be a little clearer (in fact all of date/time formatting could do with some docs...)

  • State changed from “new” to “invalid”

  That is true. DateTime columns use Time::DATE_FORMATS.
